Four medium-to-difficult classes a semester, or 4 medium difficulty classes and 1 easy class. This is what was typical at my school for engineering majors. What's "difficult" for you varies depending on the person.

I am not qualified to give specific recommendations for course loads as it is a decision that should be made in consultation with your academic advisor. However, I can provide some general guidelines for determining a suitable course load for PE classes.

Firstly, it is important to consider the credit hours assigned to each PE class. Typically, one credit hour is equivalent to one hour of class time per week. Therefore, a 3-credit hour PE class would require 3 hours of class time per week. It is important to keep in mind that for every credit hour, you should also plan to spend 2-3 hours outside of class studying and completing assignments.

Secondly, consider your overall workload and schedule. If you have a heavy workload in other classes or extracurricular activities, it may be wise to limit your PE course load to one or two classes per semester. This will allow you to balance your workload and avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Additionally, think about your personal fitness goals and abilities. If you are new to physical education or have specific fitness goals, it may be beneficial to start with a lighter course load and gradually increase it as you become more comfortable and physically capable.

In summary, the appropriate course load for PE will vary for each individual and should be determined based on credit hours, overall workload, and personal fitness goals and abilities. It is important to consult with your academic advisor to ensure you are making the best decision for your academic and personal success.
